title: [The basic anatomical variants of the single heart ventricle and the characteristics of their clinical courses].
abstract: Results are analysed of examination of 146 patients with different anatomical variants of single ventricle of the heart. 52 cases (35.6%) demonstrated biflow left ventricle, 49 (33.6%) biflow right ventricle, and 45 (30.8%) had indeterminate type single ventricle of the heart. Three main patterns of clinical course were identified: pattern I (presenting with inadequate pulmonary bloodflow) occurred in 49.3% of cases. Pattern II (with excessive pulmonary bloodflow) was recorded in 29.5% of cases. Pattern III (with balanced blood flow in both greater and lesser circulation) was identified in 21.2% of patients. 117 patients had their single ventricle of the heart associated with other congenital heart diseases. Secondary cardiomyopathy due to chronic volume overload of the ventricle was seen in 15 patients.
